One of the comic book industrys most popular and intriguing characters spawn explodes on the screen in a maelstrom of animated imagery with action romance and high-level espionage. Studio: Ingram Entertainment Release Date: 09/26/2006 Run time: 147 minutes Rating: Ur Amazon.com: Adult, stylish, and more than a little mean, this full-length animated tale has one very strong thing going for it--it knows how to milk cool. The animation is superior to anything recently devoted to a superhero...or super antihero, in this case. Al Simmons was a government assassin before he was burned to death and sent to hell (plot summary's starting out nicely, isn't it?). After making a particularly bad deal with the devil--to lead Satan's dark armies in exchange for seeing his wife again--Spawn is let loose upon the world. He immediately whacks three mob hit men, making his presence known and getting himself into all sorts of trouble. Spawn is also visited by the Clown, an obese, disgusting Beatrice, guiding our third-degree-burned Dante through this hellish, topside world. There are other nasty characters, but in this first segment a very gratuitous inclusion of a child murderer goes too far for even this mature fare. Spawn isn't fun; there's very little joy in any of this. But the point isn't fun--it's brutal, adult-comic style. And there's plenty of it. --Keith Simanton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - FONZO'S QUESTIONhey I am 13 and I have boughten spawn the first season for vhs (the edited version which I liked but thought they cut out tooo much) and I was wondering what is the difference between the edited version and the dvd I know there is more blood,,gore,language,etc. but what I really want to know is what the sexual things are and how often they occur and how bad they are....Please somone answer this QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: - alright kid, here's the deal. Get this thing however you canSo what about your parents, this thing is full of blood and breaking limbs and all kinds of good stuff. I had to find out the hard way that the CARTOON version is the one to watch. There is a bit of language and it does HAVE SOME VERY EVIL CHILD MOLESTATION SCENES, but it is not very long and your parents could always like tape it and cut those parts out and I would say you could watch it if you aer like 12 or older. You are gonna find out abotu this stuff one day, why not now? It is one hell ... Read More Rating:  - FONZO's QUESTIONhey i am a 13 year old teen. I have been reading the reviews for the spawn animated series because i have been a spawn fan for a while i read the comics and i saw the movie(didn't really like) but anyway all i have pretty much heard is lots of blood and gore which is fine with me and parents don't really care but i am worried about the language and the "parental situations". So i was just wondering if anyone could tell me about it some more thanks! P.S. i rated this a 4 because ... Read More Rating:  - A Spotty First SeasonIn the audio commentary on this disc, Todd McFarlane says that he included a lot of violence and sexual situations in this first season to grab the viewer's attention and let them know what kind of show Spawn is going to be, and he isn't kidding. Also, this first season is overwhelmed with constant voiceovers by the Cogliostro character. He is constantly telling us what Spawn is going through emotionally, which is sometimes helpful in providing information on Spawn's past and present situations, but ... Read More Rating: - Terrible writitng ruins a potentially good movieFirst of all, I've never read the comics This movie could have been good if it wasnt for the terrible writers and director. The animation was well done and so was the story, but the movie became muddied down by gratituous, needless violence and sex...not that I'm against that, but there is such a thing as goign overboard and this movie did that. The voice acting was well done also, espcieally with spawn himself. It's too bad..this movie had the potential to be great |
